do_v plain_o show_v that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o intend_v that_o parliament_n shall_v always_o be_v intermit_v for_o so_o long_o as_o twelve_o month_n but_o never_o long_o but_o these_o gentleman_n will_v rather_o alter_v out_o very_a language_n and_o the_o common_a acceptation_n of_o word_n than_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o this_o last_o prorogation_n be_v null_a in_o

out_o a_o three_o expedient_a and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o prorogation_n be_v null_a because_o of_o its_o illegal_a length_n of_o time_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o dissolve_v but_o only_o

end_n of_o those_o that_o urge_v it_o for_o if_o the_o king_n prorogation_n be_v null_a in_o law_n because_o it_o order_v the_o meeting_n of_o the_o parliament_n at_o a_o day_n of_o such_o a_o undue_a

all_o our_o law_n will_v be_v utter_o elude_v for_o if_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o parliament_n shall_v be_v hold_v once_o even_o year_n and_o a_o prorogation_n come_v and_o say_v no_o a_o parliament_n shall_v not_o be_v hold_v till_o a_o year_n and_o a_o quarter_n and_o after_o you_o see_v this_o prorogation_n null_a and_o void_a in_o law_n you_o can_v slide_v yourselves_o from_o under_o the_o prorogation_n and_o be_v content_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o nullity_n and_o shelter_v yourselves_o under_o a_o sine_fw-la die_v and_o urge_v that_o on_o your_o behalf_n we_o say_v
